Since its on-air debut on March 19, 1972, WCVB-TV -- today a division of Hearst Television Inc. -- has attracted more viewers than any other area station to its comprehensive and insightful news, thorough coverage of special events, thought-provoking original programming, and its broad range of entertainment offerings.

No station in America has been honored with so many of broadcasting's top awards.

WCVB prides itself on being on the cutting edge of new technology.

The station was among the first in the country to have a presence on the Internet and, in 1996, WCVB became the first local station to report more than 1 million Web site hits in a single week. WCVB.com, WCVB-TV's fully-staffed digital newsroom, currently maintains a comprehensive and sophisticated website and mobile news apps.

Located in Needham, Mass., Channel 5 also has the region's most sophisticated weather technology, New England's first HDTV channel, highly advanced digital newsgathering trucks and a new state-of-the-art newsroom -- features that solidify WCVB's position as the station with "Coverage You Can Count On."
